Genigods Lab has revealed Genigods: Nezha, a single-player hardcore action RPG coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC.
The game debuted during gamescom Opening Night Live with its first global reveal trailer and will have an exclusive hands-on demo at official platform booths from August 26 through August 30.
Nezha Reborn Through Chinese Creation Myth
Genigods: Nezha draws from ancient Chinese creation mythology.
Players take on the role of the Spirit Pearl, a primal life essence created by the goddess Nüwa, reincarnated as Nezha. The story reworks myths such as Kuafu Chasing the Sun and Yi Shooting the Nine Suns, while centering on the solar mother goddess.
Three Stages of Hero Growth
The game follows a three-stage protagonist evolution.
Nezha begins as a primitive porcelain vessel, becomes the first mortal human, and later ascends into a celestial warrior. Genigods Lab says this structure builds from Spirit Pearl lore and brings a matriarchal angle to Chinese creation myths.
Ground and Aerial Combat
Genigods: Nezha uses a dual-stance combat system built around ground and air battles.
Players can switch between terrestrial melee and full 3D aerial combat while fighting mythic enemies across heaven and earth. The game also includes large divine boss battles powered by customized Unreal Engine 5 technology.
Artifacts and Eight-Armed Form
Classic Nezha artifacts will play a major role in combat and progression.
Players can wield the Fire-Tipped Spear, Wind-Fire Wheels, Golden Brick, and other artifacts. Equipping full sets can open Nezha’s eight-armed battle form, mixing traditional Chinese myth imagery with cyber-inspired design.
Coming to PS5, Xbox, and PC
Genigods: Nezha is planned as a premium buy-to-play release for PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC.
The Steam page is live now, with more platform listings coming later.
